  1. gyros sandwich
  2. 4 32bit dacs per channel... drool I wonder what the analog output stage topology is?
  3. The guts to my new computer (core 2 duo guts going into the wife's machine) Asus P7P55D mobo Intel Core i5-750 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 SDRAM Antec True Power New 550w PSU COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler Have not decided on new video card (currently using Radeon HD4850) or hard drive, so I will keep those in until later upgrades.

  13. I upgraded my son's computer from Vista 32 to Win 7 64, using the family pack upgrade disc. It would not upgrade the 32bit Vista, so I had to do a clean install. It did save all the Vista windows directory to windows.old I also upgraded my Win 7 RC1 64 bit to Win 7 64. Here it required a clean install, but did not required proof of any Vista or XP prior ownership...
  14. I think you need a fairly good output stage on your SACD player to really show you the sonic benefits of the higher resolution that SACD brings to the table. Of course the source material quality is a big factor as well. Players with ho-hum output stages like the Denon 2900 very well could leave someone with the impression that there are no substantial differences between the redbook and SACD layers. I like the format and have enjoyed listening on both headphones and speakers. Very limited pop/rock selection, but much wider selection in jazz and classical. Just my 2 cents.
  15. The Airy 3x is phenomenal.... you won't be disappointed! get one if you can. Its silly money, but someone's got to do it
  16. From Digger I think 10pF will be fine and I've tried it down to 4.3 gain I think. I have had some stability problems with my Wavetek. I'm shopping for another function generator now. Still I have tried 10pF for the comp cap and used the square wave out of the scope calibrator(50mV @ 1kHz) and it looks perfect from a gain of 4.3 to 11. I'm gonna try lower than 4 this weekend sometime. For the resistors used in the Vbe multiplier, where originally KG had 20k resist/20k pot/20k resist, I'm using 1k for the adjustment pot and 1k for the resistor in series with that pot(R62), and 2.2k for R17 and R18. I recommend that the adjusment pot be set to the middle of the range before installation, or if you know how many turns it is then set to the middle after installation. I have found these values to be good for adjustment down to levels that are acceptable for use in my dynamite should I decide to transplant them, and still be able to exceed 300mA if you want to crank it up a bit. All of my testing lately has been done with only one J76 and one k213, both mounted on 1.5" Aavid's just like a Beta22 would be. I have had no problems at all thus far. The fact is I fully intend to build a 2 channel amp using the Aavid's just as a HP amp to maybe sell later sometime, and to use to tweak values for the rest of the gang as we get started in the build thread when Marc gets ready.
  17. Latest order count for passive parts buy Orders I have so far: PICaudio -- 22 vvs_75 -- 8 Looser101 -- 6 DigiPete -- 4 Vortex -- 4 Still waiting for finalization of parts selection from Luvdunhill and Digger.
